"So, just the two of you got a script, and then you want to pull investment to shoot it?" Zhang Bufan asked as he looked at the two.

The previous chat was mainly about the self-introduction of these two people, and the Liang Leming who called him can be said to be a veteran in the circle, but he has always been an art director before, and Zhang Bufan is no stranger to the movies he has participated in, among which Zhang Bufan is most familiar with "Keep Talking" released in 08, a movie that is very good except for the heroine.

And Lu Jianqing, although he introduced himself as a director and screenwriter, in fact, the script they came up with this time was his debut, as for what he did before, he didn't say, and Zhang Bufan didn't ask.

Seeing Liang Leming nodding, Zhang Bufan was a little puzzled and then asked: "There are a lot of companies in Xiangjiang, have you all voted and found me after all of them were rejected?"

Liang Leming shook his head and said: "We haven't submitted a script to any company yet, you are the first one we are looking for." ”

"Why is this? As a native of Xiangjiang, you don't go to Xiangjiang's company to submit scripts, but you come to me in the mainland?" Zhang Bufan smiled, his smile was full of doubts, why did he feel that the more he asked, the more confused he became.

Lu Jianqing, who hadn't talked much, spoke, "On the Xiangjiang side, it is difficult for a newcomer like us to obtain the qualification to direct the script himself. ”

Zhang Bufan was stunned for a moment, then showed a sudden expression, and asked tentatively: "Is it because of "Sword Rain"?"

"Rain of Swords" is a co-production between Xiangjiang and the mainland, which was released on this year's National Day.

The director of this movie, Su Zhaobing, is a rookie director, compared to the two in front of him, Su Zhaobing is much stronger, because he was already a senior screenwriter in the industry before that.

It is said that he took this book to look for investment everywhere, and there were many people who were willing to invest, but there were almost no who agreed with him to be a director.

In the end, this person who didn't know whether it was good luck or bad luck was favored by the great director Wu Baige, and was willing to be the producer of his film, and it was only with this title that he finally attracted investment and successfully became a director.

However, things obviously won't go so smoothly, and when they got to the crew, Wu Baige suddenly became dissatisfied with just being a producer, and began to intervene in filming in all aspects, it is said that the two had a fierce quarrel and almost broke up the crew.

In the end, although the movie was successfully filmed, "Sword Rain" at that time was no longer Su Zhaobing's "Sword Rain", but Wu Baige's "Sword Rain".

Of course, these are all legends, no one knows whether they are true or not, but since then, he and Wu Baige have indeed had no contact, and "Sword Rain" has become the only work he directed.

Hearing Zhang Bufan mention "Sword Rain", Liang Leming and Lu Jianqing subconsciously glanced at each other and did not answer this question, but Zhang Bufan had already seen it.

He couldn't help but smile and asked: "Then why do you think that if I come to invest, I will allow you to direct? Oh, just because "People in Embarrassment" invited director Ye Weimin? Moreover, how do you think I have the ability to invest in films? This will definitely not be what Director Ye Weimin told you, he knows very well that I did not participate in the investment in the original "People in Embarrassment...... Oh, so, you asked me out, actually trying to get to know the investors behind me through me? What gave you the illusion that I was very talkative and rarely discussed? Is it because I helped director Ye Weimin during "People in Embarrassment"?"

The two people on the other side were a little stunned, but they didn't expect Zhang Bufan, who was talking and laughing with them a moment ago, suddenly sent out a series of sharp questions.

For a while, the two people who were much older than Zhang Bufan were nervous about Zhang Bufan, Liang Leming swallowed his saliva and said: "I'm sorry, Zhang Sheng, we don't know much about the situation on the mainland, we ......."

"No, no, no, you don't have to apologize, I'm not asking this to blame anyone, I'm just curious about what you did. Zhang Bufan interrupted him, his attitude was still relatively gentle, and said: "You haven't invested in any of the companies in Xiangjiang, and you haven't tried yet, so you came to me to try your luck, which is really strange." ”

Liang Leming calmed down a little and said: "We came to Taiwan this time for this matter, because of the Golden Horse Awards, representatives of major companies in Xiangjiang have come here, and we are going to visit them with the script in the next few days, which is ...... Maybe the success rate is higher than going to the company to submit the script. ”

"So, it's purely a matter of precedence to come to me first?" Zhang Bufan said with a smile.

The two nodded repeatedly.

"So, I don't know if you brought the script, can you let me see it?" Zhang Bufan asked again.

Liang Leming hurriedly took out the script from his satchel, held it with both hands and handed it to Zhang Bufan.

Zhang Bufan also took it with both hands, and smiled at the two: "Then please wait for the two of you." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, please. Liang Leming waved his hand and said.

The script is not long, it should be said that it is still in the creative stage of the story, and it is not a complete script, Zhang Bufan read it in less than half an hour.

Handing back the script to Liang Leming, Zhang Bufan thought for a while and said, "Please forgive me for being more direct, you and Director Ye Weimin shouldn't be particularly familiar, right?"

The two looked at each other again, with visible embarrassment on their faces.

Zhang Bufan has continued: "So, you only know that he was invited to the mainland to shoot a "People in Embarrassment", which won a box office of more than 100 million, so you don't even know the specific situation of "People in Embarrassment", and you don't even know that the total investment of this movie is not even 10 million, and your movie can't be made without tens of millions. ”

"Also. There was a deep disappointment on the faces of the two, but Zhang Bufan hadn't finished speaking, "I don't know if the two of you have any understanding of the policy of co-production between the mainland and Xiangjiang?"

The two shook their heads one after the other.

"Then I'll talk about it. Zhang Bufan said: "First of all, there are certain restrictions on the proportion of crew members of co-productions, mainland China and Xiangjiang; secondly, there are also certain restrictions on the proportion of actors; third, co-productions must have mainland elements; fourth, co-productions must be declared on the mainland, and the declaration fee must be paid, uh...... That's all I remember for the time being. ”

These are all things that Zhang Bufan saw by the way when he was looking for various materials on the Internet, and he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, because he never thought that he would have the possibility of cooperating with filmmakers in Xiangjiang, and even if he cooperated, he didn't need to think about these problems, but he didn't expect that he would really use them.

The two of them were even more silent, almost seeing despair in each other's eyes.

At this time, Zhang Bufan spoke again, "Of course, apart from these problems, I really like this story of yours." ”
